The three-game series at Coors Field was touted as a significant June test for National League West contenders Arizona and Colorado.

The Diamondbacks passed. The Rockies flunked.

The D-backs' 10-3 rout of the Rockies Thursday afternoon, coming after Wednesday night's 16-5 demolition, gave Arizona the series victory.

Leave it to Rockies' veteran Carlos Gonzalez to put it into perspective.

"This was one of those bad series," he said. "It's tough, because we played a really good team that is in the same division. And to win this division you have to beat those teams.

"But we also beat the Giants four times to begin (the homestand) and now we have to go into L.A., so it's a great opportunity for us to regroup and get back on track."

Waiting in Los Angeles are the powerhouse Dodgers, who led the NL West by one game heading into Thursday night's West Coast game against the New York Mets. On the mound for the Dodgers Friday night is Alex Wood, who's 7-0 with a 1.90 ERA. On Saturday night, the Rockies must face three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw (10-2, 2.61 ERA). It will take two strong performance to "get back on track" vs. those two left-handers.

By beating Colorado, streaking Arizona won for the 12th time in its last 14 games, improving to 46-27. Colorado, which finished its homestand 5-2, fell to 47-28.

The two losses to Diamondbacks were ugly. And disappointing to the Rockies, considering they beat Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke on Tuesday night.

Arizona starter Zack Godley thoroughly dominated the Rockies Wednesday, pitching seven-plus innings of four-hit ball. He struck out eight, walked two and retired 19 of 20 Rockies during one stretch.

"His curveball was really good," said Gonzalez, who's hitting .221 after an 0-for-3 day. "When they got ahead, we started chasing his curve."

The Diamondbacks, meanwhile, rocked rookie right-hander Antonio Senzatela for nine runs on eight hits in five innings. Two three-run homers — by Chris Owings in the third and by Paul Goldschmidt in the fourth — all but put the game out of reach.

"My fastball command was not there," Senzatela said. "I felt really good, but I left a few pitches up and they really got me."

He entered the game 9-2 with a 4.10 ERA, but he looked over-matched against Arizona's talented lineup. It was a fate similar to what fellow rookie Jeff Hoffman experienced Wednesday night when he was tagged for a career-high nine runs in 3 ⅔ innings.

The afternoon actually began on a high note for Colorado. Charlie Blackmon golfed Godley's 84 mph curveball 433 feet to right-center for his 16th homer. It was Blackmon's second leadoff home run this season and the 24th of his career, extending his franchise record.

Two batters later, Nolan Arenado doubled, but he was stranded when Gonzalez grounded out and Ian Desmond struck out. From that point on, the game belonged to Arizona.

Now Colorado hits the road for a 10-day, nine-game road trip through L.A., San Francisco and Phoenix. It's not make-of-break time for the Rockies, but it's an important test.

"We know what's ahead of us, we know who we are playing," manager Bud Black said. "Conversely, they know who they're playing. Every day is a test. Our guys know it."
